In another world as my waifu #2: DDD GIFT

Chapter 82: Into the dungeon.

We are now on our way to the Dungeon's entrance after my little talk with the inhabitants of Tolemac and the establishment of our little bet.

Which I am really mad about, you dummy, dummy, Auros!

Yes...I'm really sorry but that is the only thing I felt would work, first in isekai sense and then supported by my instinct...

Sumanai...

I know. But I'm still mad! Also, I don't want you to complain when the implications of what you swore cause problems, alright?!

Ughh that just makes the idea of that oath being a giant flag all the more concrete...

Of course, it is, bakauros!

Heh, that sounded cute...

Oh no, praising me is not going to work now, Auros.

But...but...that always works!

Not today! Moving on! I have faith in you, but there are many problems that can come from that oath which do not have to do with you dying.

I think I know what you are going to say but...I'm still asking.

Such as...?

You shall see, cowros.

Oi! I know you are mad and yeah, I expected your answer to be as the first half of it, but that last bit was uncalled for!

Hum! Swearing on my name so many times like it is a plot enabling tool is also uncalled for!

...!!

No response, huh? Serves you right!

Grrr...I give...

Someone is approaching me from the left side.

"Lady Auros, can I ask you something?"

It's Sylvie, with a complex expression on her face. 

"Of course."

She is also the first one to break the silence that has taken over our group ever since we started walking. It is not that there are bad feelings or anything like that. In the case of the maids they are simply walking and taking in the scenery which has begun to change from ruins and such, into a lush forest.

"Was it really alright to do all that? I thought you were in favor of a more friendly approach. You even swore not to hurt them before we came here, right?"

""...!""

And on the Tolemacian side they are, well, Ragna seems to not know how to approach me since she was the first to comment about how deep their hearts were sunk in those terrible feelings. So, she probably saw it coming but feels guilty because she couldn't do something about it, which is why she also looks ashamed, like Viera. Cassandra seems conflicted and Peria, well, Peria doesn't look all that bad, actually. Still, Ragna and Cassandra are the ones who reacted the most to Sylvie's question right now.

I guess they also want to know.

But the moment I am about to reply to Sylvie, Erica speaks up.

"It might be impolite to intrude, but if I may, Master."

She had been silently walking by my right side all the way until now, but if she wants to talk, then I will let her. Even more with the eyes she is showing, I think she will give a good answer.

Still, better ask Sylvie.

"Are you fine with it, Sylvie?"

"Mm, I wanted to know what Lady Auros is thinking...but alright."
